Godfather has always been highly respected among the people and was once regarded as? A man's Bible? The reason is that The Godfather tells the story of Mike, a man who comes from a gangster family but worships the American dream and pursues a decent position. He grew up from a boy to a man. Among them, for Mike, the change of his life, the growth of his thoughts, the responsibility and the choice of marriage can be felt in his heart, regardless of men and women.
Mike fell in love with Sicilian girls at first sight. Mike was forced to flee Sicily because of killing and revenge. Here, he met a beautiful girl, Apollonia. In the movie, we can see Mike's dull and addicted expression when he saw Apollonia, but it is more detailed and clear in the novel. The novel says that Mike lamented the beauty of Apollonia and was shocked inside. If he wants to keep it for himself, in short, Mike fell in love with the Sicilian girl Apollonia at first sight. After that, Mike also made a decisive and quick courtship and won the heart of Apollonia. The day after marriage was also a rare happy time for Mike. Apollonia has no culture and is innocent and lovely, which is Mike's inner comfort after the storm. Therefore, Mike taught Apollonia to drive and speak English, and they were very happy.
Apollonia's death promoted Mike's growth, but it didn't last long. In order to change Mike and speed up his growth, the screenwriter wrote about the death of the beautiful Sicilian girl Apollonia. It was the death of Apollonia and the family turmoil that made Mike decide to return to the United States and contribute his strength to his family. Friends who have seen The Godfather can obviously feel the change of Mike's state. After returning to America, Mike began to concentrate on his career, but surprisingly, Mike never went to see Kay who had been waiting for him for a long time. If Mike still keeps Kay in his heart, cares about her and loves her, will he shrink back for three years, or even think about not looking for her all his life? Of course not.
Mike appreciates women like Kay, but he doesn't like this question. It's nothing more than a debate about whether Mike loves Kay or Apollonia. There is no doubt that these are two completely different types of women. Kay is a typical American woman, born in an intellectual family, well-educated, ambitious and outstanding in temperament, which is extremely suitable for Mike who originally wanted to be an officer. If you want to talk about love, then this love is mixed with too many magazines, including Mike's pursuit of the American dream. For Apollonia, it was the most primitive desire, it was love at first sight, and it was a long-term acquaintance. For Mike, who later became the godfather, the Sicilian girl was also the most suitable wife for Mike.
Finally, it is worth pondering. Before his death, old Mike recalled the three most important women in his life, followed by his daughter, Apollonia and Kay. Does this also imply the order of the three women in his mind? What do you think of this?
